Abstract
Running is often recommended by physicians to maintain a healthy lifestyle. As
more individuals participate in running-related activities, clinicians must be
increasingly aware of common injuries. Training errors leading to overuse are the
most common underlying factors in most running-related injuries. Clinicians need to
keep in mind that the presenting injury is frequently the result of an inability to
compensate for a primary dysfunction at another site. Although imaging may be
helpful in differentiating among diagnoses with similar clinical presentations, a
detailed history and physical examination are essential in making a correct
diagnosis.
